Man, literally I was packin my stuff to go to the gym and do some front squats which i haven’t done in a long time and was concerned about my wrist mobility.. and guess what… video came out 😀 Thanks a lot

@marcmmclellan 2 года назад

My issue is shoulder. Specifically external rotation.

Chiropractor is solution

@marcmmclellan 2 года назад

@@mountfairweather I wouldn’t be functioning without my chiropractor.

I’m coming back from rotator cuff surgery. Hard to find a place for that left hand.

Are you in more than $100,000 debt to the federal government? What we’re gonna do first is some *banded joint mobilizations*.

@KB-zt4hi 2 года назад

About 8 years ago i did front squats often as an accessory lift, wasnt able to get into front rack at first but i remember i used straps instead of resorting to “california/bodybuilder” style, and before long i was able to use regular front rack grip without ever working on wrists. Now after years off, doing front squats as primary leg exercise, can’t front rack anymore. Gonna try wrist wraps to see if it helps like it did before. I don’t wanna use it as a band aid tho, I’m hoping i just regain t spine mobility and am able to comfortably do front rack without straps.

I am a simple man. I see a new Squat U video, I like.

@jc_yadigg 9 месяцев назад

i can do the prayer pose well past 90 and still cant front rack properly

@danielnicholson25 2 года назад

i just cross my arms in an X to where my left hand is near my right shoulder and right hand near my left shoulder. I can even support the bar with my fingers this way and keep the bar from rolling without wrist pain. I really don't get why people don't just do it that way. Way easier and simple.

@dominicfrigerio1747 2 года назад

I train the front squat to improve my clean, so I have to do it this way

@1986Unlimited Год назад

It's because the Clean Grip technique will translate to many Olympic powerlift movements while the Crossarm or Straps won't. If you don't care about all that, and just want a good front squat workout, these grips will get the job done without all that extra. The internet has an annoying tendency to overrepresent certain types of content or prioritize them over others.

@Canadiancromagnon 2 года назад

Just use a couple of hand towels twisted and held hammer curl style. I have used for years doing heavy 300-400 lb front squats

@elisewelge2134 2 года назад

Nice timing! My trainer is having me do strength testing with front squats today

@snkrs-wrld123 2 месяца назад

Great video! I’ve got a few questions. Maybe you could help me with them😀 What’s the benefit of doing a front squat rather than doing a back squad? With how much fingers do you prefer to hold the bar? Would you recommend two fingers or with the full hand? I feel like that I don’t lack mobility, but when doing the exercise my fingers feel really stretched in that position. How does it feel when you do it? Is a medium stretch there normal?

@tomarik 2 года назад

My lasts kill my front rack. My elbows basically point to the floor.

@Coachclark.c 2 года назад

Is this a long term fix to increase mobility or just short term?

@user-lv4ne7nq1h 2 месяца назад

Why does my fingers hurt when I try to front squat?

@john6922 5 месяцев назад

Really helpful. realise my wrist is not the problem. Lat stretch is great. Then realised I still can't get my hands wider than elbows in front rack, they just won't move! Is this a problem?

@davidclark2253 2 года назад

When I do the wrist stretch I feel pain/tightness in the front of my wrist and palm. It runs from the base of my wrist through the base of my thumb. Do you have any stretches or exercises to help with this area?

@dabeln1 Год назад

In my humble opinion, front squat Olympic hand position is not worth anyone's time that is not comfortable with it or a professional lifter. Do the technique that suits you best. All of these fitness youtubers are trying to help, but at the end of the day, they are trying to make their hobby into money. You need your wrists in good working order more than anything else.

@josepena2979 2 года назад

I've been having a problem with my ankle everytime I walk it clicks n it's been going on for a while. I tried cracking it, stretching it, rolling my caf, n nothing seems to work. There's no pain just discomfort n a lost in ankle mobility

@AaronKamel Год назад

I suffer from wrist pain also, but it usually starts in the forearm, like the "under" side of it. Like is tight, and I'm stretching like in this video (hand over hand one) but I haven't gotten any better, would you be so kind to make a video like that, please?

@davidgilnavascues4308 2 года назад

Aaron, I have a question. Rebuilding Milo is also in Spanish or just in English?? Thanks and great job

@nokid1375 6 месяцев назад

This was very helpful, cause i had to alternate the natural front positions whenever i front squats due to my wrist hurting when i start doing them.

@Yoboijay811 Год назад

Why is it when I front squat, I don't feel it in either my forearms or wrist but feel it in my fingers?

@4u2nv503 2 года назад

The same ankle motility stretches but for the wrist.....Cool

@gregorywladecki5382 2 года назад

For me it's all about not tilting the elbows/torso forward. Raising my heels helped so much I don't even need all four fingers.

@polinacherpel3892 2 года назад

The main problem with performing front squats properly is the restricted mobility in thoracolumbar spine. You have completely missed this.

@stefansandbergsweden 2 года назад

He has a couple of videos on that, so no, he did not miss it he just focuses on different problems in different videos. 😉

@domepiece11 2 года назад

I just front squat with my arms crossed over the bar. Too easy. It also keeps me a lot more upright.

@Ravi-ut7kk 9 месяцев назад

the bar rolls off my shoudler when i use this cross grip as the weight gets heavier. At 135 lbs its fine but after that the bar starts rolling off

@alikoenig6099 2 года назад

I will definitely have to give these a try!! Are there any considerations if my wrists pop easily out of place?
